But in fact, in terms of navy, do the Allies really have as big an advantage as imagined? As a time traveler, especially a time traveler with a naval background, Xu Jie believes that the Allies' problems at sea are even worse than those in the air.

Big! Although the navy and air force relied on aircraft to conquer the world in World War II, historically

There is a "curse" in World War 2. A country with a strong air force must not have a strong naval aviation! If you don't believe it, read the book. The German Air Force was once all-powerful and was also a top expert. But what about the navy? The number of aircraft that Redel can use is never enough.

200 aircraft! Not even 5% of the number of aircraft in the German army!

Maybe some people say that Germany is an exception and the Soviet Union cannot be considered. Well, let's look at the British! Is the Royal Air Force strong? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second in the world? But what about the Royal Navy's flying force? Look at the flying force that has been in service until

In the middle and late stages of the war, the number of carrier-based aircraft on the Swordfish and aircraft carriers began to be weak. The Royal Navy's air force could not be said to be very powerful, right?

Naturally, this is due to the lack of support from the Germans, but at the same time, it is also due to the Royal Air Force’s superiority in the competition for resources. The Royal Navy’s aviation force is actually restricted by the Air Force. Although this plane is better and the aircraft performs well,

The number is enough to fill several aircraft carriers, but the number of reserve aircraft is insufficient, and the number of shore-based aviation forces is very small.

The direct relationship between the German naval aviation and the air force in this dimension is somewhat similar to that of the United States and Japan in history. Although the scale is smaller than the air force, at least the number is sufficient. After all, the navy mainly carries out sea attacks and does not need to implement strategies.

Bombing mission, according to intelligence. Xu Jie learned that the size of the German naval aviation will be further expanded in the future, and will eventually reach 6,000

In terms of number, this is almost 30% of the total number of German aircraft! And does the British naval aviation have 1,500 aircraft? Well, in fact, even the request made by the British Navy to the Ministry of Defense not long ago

There are only 1,300 aircraft! As for the French? They are not as good as the British! The Americans are very powerful, but they are too far away!

Let us turn our attention to the sea. Although naval aviation is divided into two parts: sea-based and land-based, in fact, in many cases, carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers have a greater impact on the situation than land-based aircraft! American land-based aviation again

It’s so powerful, and generally only the aircraft on a few aircraft carriers can be used! And if we talk about naval aviation,

Although the United States, Britain and France have an advantage in terms of total numbers, after all, these are the navies of the three countries. If nothing else, at least the equipment and training standards are different. The British use Spitfire, the Americans use F4F, and they will need to change to F6F in the future.

The French plan to use the D520 in the future! There are only 4 types of fighter jets in a fleet, including range, speed and flight.

The performances are all different. Coupled with the mess of various attack aircraft, this can definitely be described as a hodgepodge! The f4f has to take care of the Spitfire's range, and the Spitfire in turn has to take care of the f4f's cruising speed. And then the fighter jets have to take care of the range of the Spitfire.

Take care of the flight speed of various attack aircraft. By the way, I also want to say that it is called the Miracle of the Net Pocket.

The Swordfish is still in use, but I don’t know if this dimension can recreate the miracle that severely damaged the Prime Minister and Veneto! Xu Jie is not optimistic! Although the Allies are also a multinational coalition, their fighter jets are all BF109 or FW190. Attack

The aircraft are also made from Germany, which at least makes logistics support and tactical organization much more convenient.

As for the performance of the aircraft, let’s not talk about the comparison between the Spitfire and the FW190. As for the F6F, which Americans have high hopes for, it can never compete with the FW190 of the same period. Even though the former has a hugely powerful R2800 engine,

On the course of stoutness

The speed is simply too much than the P47! This has led to the Hellcat being called a fat cat, and the speed is even slower, with a speed of just over 600 kilometers per hour. Is this worthy of the r2800, the highest achievement of the air-cooled engine? Historically, it is

Hellcats meet in Pacific theater

Otherwise, if they go to the European battlefield, they will probably be beaten badly. If the Hellcat is worse, but can still be considered, then whether it is SBD or TBD in the US Air Force, it will face the German FW190F

type attack aircraft and twin

If you want to launch a fast bomber, there will be no comparison. After all, the fw190 is a fighter body. Its speed and agility are definitely much better than that of a bomber, and the latter surpasses the former in terms of bomb load and cruising speed. The Germans are so fast

The power of the fleet is quite great!

China has even done related experiments. It once used fighter jets to simulate the attack speed of the German naval aviation's fast fleet in an exercise. (After all, before the R2800 came out, the speed of China's attack aircraft could not go up--!) The test results

Very amazing! If you don’t consider following the loss

Or if the intelligence is wrong, then the cruising speed of the German naval fleet can reach more than 430km per hour! If it is a pure formation of fw190, in a combat radius of less than 350km, the Germans can even fly at a cruising speed of about 470km!

(this

There is no doubt about it. In fact, when the fw190a aircraft is equipped with a 500kg bomb, it can fly at such a speed at a suitable altitude. Moreover, the internal fuel range of the fw190a is about 1000km even when flying at high speed.) Then the Chinese Navy came up with a jet

fire

The aircraft's instruction manual led to a very shocking conclusion. If the combat radius of the Spitfire is considered to be the combat distance, even counting the time it takes for the Germans to fly the aircraft and complete the formation, the Germans can definitely do so within 1

Put the bomb in the face of the British within an hour!

The Allies not only have an advantage in carrier-based aircraft, they also have an advantage in aircraft carriers. Most of the front-line main battle aircraft carriers of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are armored aircraft carriers, and the thickness of the armored deck is relatively large, about 100mm, which can basically resist

Attack by 500kg armor-piercing projectiles. The two British Fury-class aircraft carriers are armored aircraft carriers, as are the French ones, but

However, as the most powerful navy of the Allied Powers, the Americans are somewhat weak. Essex finally got an armored deck, but the thickness is only 50mm. It is not enough for the Germans' 500kg semi-armor-piercing bombs. The German bombs on this plane

The power is much stronger than that of Japan. It will never happen again that a US aircraft carrier is hit by a 250kg bomb and can be repaired in two days!

Xu Jie estimated that the two sides would definitely suffer a big loss when they met the Allies for the first time. Even if they had the superior force, it would not work if both sides discovered each other at the same time. His plane was still flying halfway, and then the other side passed by and already destroyed his own aircraft carrier fleet.

The fight is going crazy. There is no reason why this war should not collapse! Considering that aircraft carriers cannot be produced on the assembly line like airplanes in one month, Xu Jie signaled to the military

The liaison department reminded the Allies on various occasions, but the effect was not obvious. The upgrading of German carrier-based aircraft and the improvement of tactics were about to be completed. All that was left was to increase production and proficiency, while the Allies were still immersed in the old

In the war system, Xu Jie was speechless. "Don't blame me for not reminding you in the future. You asked for this!" Xu Jie said to himself after seeing the inaction of the Allied Powers.

As for the army, the Allied Powers' analysis of the situation is still more reliable than that of the Navy and Air Force. After being beaten several times by the Germans, the top military leaders of the United States, Britain and France readily admitted the gap between their own armies and the Allied armies! Regardless of the

In terms of scale, quantity, and equipment, the Allies had to admit their disadvantages. However, the United States and Britain are working hard to improve

Changes, the United States and the United Kingdom are planning to design a medium tank based on the Sherman tank with reference to the Chinese Type 29 tank. Will its performance requirements be the same as the Type 29 tank, overwhelming the Panzer 4 tank, and at the same time, they will build a medium tank based on this?

Tank destroyer. They requested a No. 4 tank destroyer that could overwhelm the Germans, and the French designed a B1 tank.

Its outstanding features are heavy armor, slow speed and heavy firepower. The tank weighs 40 tons in total and is equipped with a 90mml42 main gun. The front turret protection is 110mm. The upper armor of the front of the vehicle is 100mm and tilted at 45 degrees. The lower and lower parts of the vehicle are at the same angle.

, but the thickness has been reduced to 80mm. The engine power is lower. Only 400 horsepower. Performance

It can be seen that it is a very good anti-tank tank. And it has the potential to continue to improve. The Allies believe that the new Sherman tank and B1 tank are enough to gain advantages in armor technology, although they still do not have an advantage in terms of total force.

But if we cooperate with the French's conscientious defense to defend France from the beginning, the problem doesn't seem to be big.

Looking at the French's new Maginot Line of Defense, which stretches from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, Xu Jie had to admit that the French had already filled up the technology tree of fortifications. This line of defense was stronger than the original one. And there was no longer the original line of defense.

Judging from the current situation, the loopholes in the vacuum in the north will probably cost a lot if the Germans want to attack the entire defense line through the army.

It’s a big price to pay. After all, the hilly areas in southeastern France are not suitable for armored forces to fight. But they are very suitable for black gun Yinmen. Relying on the defense line, the German army cannot break through quickly, so the meaning of the armored assault is lost. And if the British and American air forces provide full support,

So if the German Air Force is unable to open up the situation, the battlefield is likely to return to the confrontation mode of World War 1.

If we extend this based on this, we can conclude that the French bridgehead will not be breached. If the Germans cannot break through on land, then even if the Allied Powers miscalculate the situation in terms of navy and air force, it will still be impossible.

It would cause too serious consequences. After all, the strategic significance of the French bridgehead is very important. With France here, the Germans will not be able to use the military ports and bases on the west coast of France. Whether they are U-boats or battleships, they will either hide in the Mediterranean or have to

Why stay in the North Sea? The range of activities will be greatly compressed. Although the main fleet can enter and exit the Atlantic Ocean, its location is southerly, and it is at a disadvantage in routes and cover. The submarine's range is greatly wasted. However, the Allies can use the Atlantic coast of France

airports and ports to strengthen control of the North Atlantic! As long as France is here, it will be impossible for Germany to effectively air attack the United Kingdom, and the British can safely increase their production capacity! And the Americans have also obtained a platform on which they can fully exert their power.

.

But is it really so perfect? ​​The answer is definitely no. Let us come back and look at this premise. Premise 1 is that the US and British air forces fully supported France at the beginning of the war. This is theoretically true, but in fact it is not

It’s not realistic! The reason is very simple. The French did not agree to allow the British and American air forces to be stationed in France in large numbers during peacetime! And once Germany

If someone launches a sudden attack, it is unknown how many planes the United States and Britain can dispatch in a hurry. The British are only across a strait, but the Americans are across the Atlantic Ocean! And in peacetime, the British

People also did not allow the US Air Force to enter the UK! In the current European battlefield in this dimension, do hundreds of aircraft count?

If the Germans did not give the Allies time to prepare and started fighting right away, then I am afraid that the French Air Force would have been severely damaged before the American and British Air Forces intervened. Xu Jie would rather trust the American Army than the French Air Force!

And in fact, the aircraft cannot be used just by flying there. You need to equip the American and British aircraft arriving in France with special ground staff and accessories. If the former is about training,

If we can barely do it, what about the latter? The Land God engine used by the French is not the same thing as the American Hornet and the British Moline! If we consider the logistics system, it cannot be completed overnight.

, so under the current circumstances, it is difficult for the United States and Britain to provide effective support to France at the beginning. So what will happen to the French Air Force after the war? You can even figure it out with your knees!

What is even more frightening is that once the French Air Force loses, it will be impossible for the United States and Britain to restore the decline on the battlefield. This is not like the Italian War and the Iranian War, where the air forces of both sides can fight back and forth, and the sky is dark. Although in the Italian War,

Italy lacks strategic depth, but both sides are restrained

, Italy has a stable rear base in France. In the Iran War, in addition to the two bases in Central Asia and India, the two sides fought over a large area, but the number of aircraft was relatively small. As for the European battlefield? It is conservatively estimated that the Allied Air Force can also

When attacking France, mobilize about 15,000 various aircraft

Aircraft! In the Iranian battlefield, the Allies concentrated 4,000 aircraft and fought in an area of ​​2 million square kilometers, while in the European battlefield, the Allied aircraft increased four times! The combat area was reduced to a quarter! The troop density increased by 16 times! Although

The actual troop density cannot be so simple and tiring.

However, France lacks depth, while Germany has greater air superiority and stronger strategic bombing capabilities. In this case, once the Allies begin to fall into passivity, it will be difficult to reverse it! Because the entire territory of France is covered by the German Air Force

Within the scope of the attack, France will not be given the opportunity and space to regroup!

So, Xu Jie thinks that once the war starts, the Allies will definitely suffer a big loss. He wants to leave China and kill the Allies alone? Haha. That is completely impossible! Xu Jie is waiting for the day when the United States and Britain compromise!
Chapter completed!
